It's official.  I knew my clothes have been getting looser.  And I have been much more active, altho haven't gotten back to the gym yet.  I have lost 6 lbs.

We all know that shit happens, right?  Well I try to stay out of it, but sometimes I step right into it.  At the end of the day, starting at around 3:30, nurses I work with start to go home.  Since I don't get off until 5:30, I pick up a lot of these patients.  Most of the time it is just finishing up an infusion and letting them go.  We call it turning them loose.  lol  So, by 5:00, everyone was leaving and I picked up this lady that was new to us, her first treatment.  My report was "all you have to do is watch her for an hour.  She's already done, but the order says to keep her for an ho

Ahh, gotta go to work in a few mins, and I just wanted to say, Road Trip!  I am back to planning.  It will be shorter this time.  First stop, Virginia.  Second-Tennessee.  Then a long haul to Oklahoma.  That is as far as my plans have gotten.  Stay tuned.  Yippee.

Uh oh...  The adrenalin is gone.  I'm all settled in.  Work is going ok.  The NM absolutely luvs me!  And I am in a good place.  Soooo, why do I feel the lonliness creeping in?  This happened when I left my first husband, and I considered taking him back.  NOT!  And this isn't about gilbert, either.  It's just that, I have never been alone in my entire life.  I was married to "the other one" when I was 16, had a baby by the time I was 19, and another 3 years later.  So, I have always had the kids, my family and then my 2nd husband and more family--grandkids.   I luv the independence that I

You learn a lot about people online via email, blogs, etc.  I feel as if I "know" many of you, and that is a good thing, for me.  I read about your children, husbands/wives, work, play and whatever else you might blog about.  My personal emails are even better cuz these are the people that I really get to know well.  I lost count of the happy birthday's I have received in the last fews days.  Y'all can stop now, it's the day after!  lol  Birthdays have always been a big deal in my family.  I do a count down so that I get the attention I want.  Yep, I did it to y'all, too.  And, I feel the L

Yes, I concented to go out with gilbert last night.  I couldn't very well say no.  It was my birthday dinner "out", which should have been easy enough.  I went to the house early to pack some more stuff into the car, including a computer stand that he wasn't using any more.  The sucker hooked his PC up to MY 42" flat screen TV, and I am soooo jealous.  Anyways, I took the stand cuz I'm tired of hitting my knees on the end table I am using.  We took separate cars to the place, which was fine.  It was a nice little Italian place we had been to before.  The conversation was ok, and when he toa
